Did you know that on average, a person spends almost five hours a day on their digital devices?
Like you, there are days or periods when we spend too much time looking at our screens, rather than looking up at the wonders that are around us. And like you, we know that our health and wellbeing are affected by this habit.
At Eden, we offer our guests the opportunity to detox from their everyday lives; this includes detoxing from an unhealthy or unbalanced diet, unhygienic sleep habits, and of course, our digital devices. By unplugging from the daily demands of family, work, and those never ending notifications, you will find the space and time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate.
The benefits of unplugging
In our hyper-connected world, it is easy to get lost in the virtual realm. From endless notifications to the constant pressure of being online, stress levels can skyrocket as the need to be connected takes priority over your own health practices. By taking a break from technology, you can experience a host of benefits:
Reduced stress:
Giving yourself some tech-free time allows your mind to relax and recharge. Without the constant pinging of notifications, you can regain focus and reduce anxiety.
Improved sleep quality:
Exposure to screens before bedtime can disrupt your sleep patterns. Unplugging at least an hour before sleep can lead to more restful nights and increased energy during the day. Ideally, leave your phone in another room so that you are not tempted to pick it up during the night.
Enhanced personal connections:
Disconnecting from technology on a regular basis fosters meaningful face-to-face interactions. It allows you to be present in the moment and truly connect with others.
Boosted creativity:
Stepping away from digital distractions can unleash your creativity, allowing your mind to wander and explore new ideas. Leave the phone at home and go for a gentle, meandering walk. Inspire your creativity and let your senses experience the sights, sounds and smells of nature.
Greater mindfulness:
By detaching from the digital world and its ever-present demands, you can cultivate mindfulness, being more aware of your thoughts and emotions.
